Edward Middleton

Auctioneer

Bio

Edward joined Louth Livestock Market as our auctioneer in the autumn of 2023. Having grown up on his family farm near Spilsby, Ed is an experienced cattle farmer who understands the requirements of Lincolnshire’s market community while developing his auctioneering career around livestock and machinery. Ed bought his first Lincoln Red Cattle at the age of 18 which led to him starting a business breeding pedigree cattle. As well as successfully selling many top price prize-winning bulls, he is keen to develop Louth Market and work with as many vendors, buyers and supporters as possible. Naturally, Ed takes great pride in showing cattle and has achieved numerous championships, the most notable being beef interbreed champion at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show in 2018. Outside of work Ed enjoys horse racing and going to the pub with friends.

Eleanor Hopper

Administration & Support | Market

Bio

Eleanor joined Masons in September 2021 while completing a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture at Riseholme College. She works part time at Louth Livestock Market every Monday and supports the rural team with accounts administration. Outside of Masons she works in a variety of roles in arable farming and livestock, driving carts and tractors, lambing and handling livestock. Eleanor is currently Chairman of Wragby Young Farmers Club. She loves working with livestock, so much so that she would love to have her own small flock of sheep. She loves living and working in the countryside because there is so much to see from the Lincolnshire Wolds to the Lincolnshire Coast, with no two places the same.
